NEW-FOUND CANNIBALS.
Tribes in Africa Whose Members Are FOND
of Human Flesh.

Tribes I'm Africa Whose Members Are Fond
of Human Flesh.
Among recent discoveries in Africa
none is more interesting than the new
found facts relating to the prevalence
of cannibalism in regions where its eX-
istence has not hitherto been suspected.
1t was not known, for instance, until
Mr.. Last returned travels in East
Africa a few weeks ago. that at least
one of the tribes between Lake Nyassa
and the Indian ocean are as great can
nibals as many of the people of the
Congo basin. Mr.. Last is the explorer
who was sent out by the Royal Geo
graphical Society of London to solve
several geographical! problems in the
region east of Lake Nyassa.
Just q little south of LivfngstOne's
route to Lake Nyassa Mr.. Last found
that cannibalism is practiced among
the principal chiefs of the great Yao
tribe. This is perhaps the largest tribe
east of Nyassa. The practice of
eating human flesh is carried on only
in secret, and the leading men in the
tribe alone partake of these banquets.
Mr.. Last was told, as an excellent joke
OH lHC SAe@S % 49," ~
them from the coast had beer inveigled
into taking part ia one or two of these
horrid feasts in the belief that they
were partaking of goats flesh, of
which the coast people are fond.
Farther east, on the banks of the
Lukugu r1ver, Mr.. Last found the
Maua tribe, who openly practice can
nibalism. They kill slaves for food.
and also eat the bodies of the enemies
they slay in war; Oftentimes one of
the villages privately determine to kill
a certain person. They invite the vic
tim to a public beer-drinking, and as
soon as he is far gone with intoxication
the chief gives the signal to the execu-
TONERS and they at once seize the poor
wretch and hurry him into the bush,
where he is speared. Then the feast is
prepared and the entire village par
takes of it

Mr.. Last he would like to have his

Speaking of VaSsar, one of the students
there is Il daughter of President Rocka-
fcller. of the Standard Oil company. She
is nu: robust, and is afflicted with tcn-
tlrrness of vision which has caused tho
doctors to prohibit her from reading.
Cndcterred by this misfortune, anu per-
haps stimulated by it, she pursues her
studies with the help of an attendant who
reads to her. Miss Rockafcllcr's dimness
of vision has not rendered her indifferent
or unsympathetic to the hardships OF
others. Some time ago she noticed that
two of the college messengers, who per
formed in her division services analogous
to these OF bell boys in 4 hotel, were
bright, intelligent girls. She thought it

lures should be in n great institution OF
learning without an opportunity to avail
themselves of its advantages, like Tan
